Senator Robert Byrd:
"In his honor and as a tribute to his commitment to his ideals, let us stop the shouting and name calling and have a civilized debate on health care reform which I hope, when legislation has been signed into law, will bear his name for his commitment to insuring the health of every American."
That was fast yet predictable.
Remembering Ted Kennedy:
On the troop surge: "An immense new mistake."
On supporting Amnesty for illegals crossing the Rio Grande: "I just couldn't bear the though of anyone drowning in a river while trying to make a better life for themselves."
